If you've installed the Context Menu ("Edit with Cream/Vim"), just
take the value from  HKCR\*\Shell\Cream\Command, something like:

  c:\progra~1\vim\vim70\gvim.exe "-U NONE -u \$VIMRUNTIME/cream/creamrc"
"%1"

although I'm not on Windows right now to check that...probably not
quite right.

Otherwise, this sounds like a pathing issue due to spaces, quotes, or
similar. (Does :messages at the command line give you more feedback?)
You might just test various incantations:

  "c:\progra~1\vim\vim70\cream\creamopen.vbs" %1
  "c:\progra~1\vim\vim70\cream\creamopen.vbs" "%1"
  "c:\progra~1\vim\vim70\cream\creamopen.vbs %1"

and so on, but the first suggestion is a much safer bet.
